Of course they are coprighted. You may use them in free games based on the Source engine but anything else will need to be licensed, possibly for a fee outside of your scope.

To use in your games...

Paid Source game - $25,000 + $100 Steam Ditect fee

Free 2 Play Source game - $100 Steam Direct fee only

Plus, using Valve's created characters will allow Valve to retain majority rights to your game. The cut would be over 50%. Been through this in regards of Left4Dead 3.
